Migraines & Headaches

Migraines and headaches appropriately treated in our chiropractic clinic are tension-type, cervicogenic, or TMJ-related in nature. These type of headache patterns often present with pain in the forehead, eye, temple, jaw or at the base of the skull. DSM Core specializes in deep-tissue myofascial release used to target the muscles and nerves around the head, neck and face to alleviate tension and restriction. Chiropractic adjustments are also an effective treatment for the right headache sufferer. Most patients will find through the course of evaluation and treatment tender spots that recreate their migraine and headache symptoms, which provides valuable information of the root location of the headaches. Migraines and headaches often resolve through a series of visits designed to alleviate the contributing factors.

Red flag signs associated with migraines and headaches include sudden loss of strength or sensation in any part of the body, difficulty swallowing or changes in vision and require emergency care.
